On Saturday, North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis seemed like a rare “profile in courage” for the GOP, voting against President Trump's big bloated boondoggle. On Sunday, Tillis announced he'd decided not to run for reelection next year—adding his Senate career to the hashtag #ETTD, Everything Trump Touches Dies. We'll talk to a Courier Newsroom colleague about the prospect of a Democratic pickup of an open seat in a swing state.

We're joined by Courier Newsroom's Keya Vakil to find out what's with all of the hype about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. He's either a refreshing breath of fresh air and authenticity… or he's a clear and present danger to Gotham City.

The House Republican tax bill gets a lot of attention for being a massive giveaway to the super-wealthy, but the package is even worse than advertised—though much of its impact wasn't learned until after it passed because the process was so rushed. We'll learn more from Courier Newsroom's Keya Vakil. And for folks who used to watch Pat anchor the news in Eau Claire, prepare to hear something that'll make you feel a little older.

The 2024 election is finally over! There was still one undecided race until now—a big one for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, where it appeared the losing candidate was going to be successful in throwing out thousands of votes. Sanity prevailed at the very last minute. We'll talk to our Courier Newsroom colleague there for the story. Also: Donald Trump's MAGA mentality has made it almost socially acceptable to engage in heckling and taunting, but there are right ways and wrong ways for Trump critics to make their points and score some points in the court of public opinion.

Give the White House some credit for a little bipartisanship: Businesses, workers, consumers, and pundits have united on the notion that the Trump tariffs are off-target and causing real harm.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has become a nationally known fundraising machine and is enjoying its share of statewide successes since Ben Wikler took over as chair six years ago. With Wikler stepping down, the next “WisDems” leader for 2026 has to maintain momentum, defend the governor's post, and turn Donald Trump's miscues into a path toward taking majorities in the Assembly and Senate. We'll also talk about Trump's topsy turvy week with Courier Newsroom's Keya Vakil and Sean Kitchen of Courier's Pennsylvania outlet, The Keystone.

Who's ready to party like it's 1979? President Trump's over-the-top trade war caused the stock markets to have their worst day since the early COVID phase of 2020. (Who was president back then?) Now there are fears of the worst economic double-whammy short of a depression. Could we really see “stagflation,” a period of high prices and high unemployment? Courier Newsroom's Keya Vakil has more about the impact of Trump's tariffs at the local level.

We here at CRC try not to wade into the more salacious soap opera stories that quite frankly infest the DC political world. But when a story intersects with work we already do, well, we're not above getting down into the dirt a little. Such is the case with the report that dropped a few days ago that Connecticut liberal Senator and Biden mouthpiece Chris Murphy has recently left his wife and taken up with leftist activist Tara McGowan, late of the Obama administration and Courier Newsroom, a local news propaganda peddler that pushes political advertisements under the guise of local journalism. Watson has covered Courier fairly extensively so we decided to invite another Courier watcher Mark Hemingway of Real Clear Politics on to discuss what a union between Murphy and McGowan might mean beyond just a lot of really flattering, AI-generated pieces in quote “local news outlets."

Once you get past the outlandish rhetoric, the political stunts, and the real impact of the Trump administration's mass firings of essential workers, you can finally ask yourself what's at the heart of it all—what's the real reason for all of this chaos? The answer is remarkably simple, as we discuss with Courier Newsroom political correspondent Keya Vakil.

Elon Musk and President Trump say they're going after wasteful spending, but the wrecking ball they've been taking to federal programs is having impacts in Wisconsin and across the country that are real and harmful and expensive in the long run. We'll talk to Courier Newsroom's Keya Vakil and Casey Harrison from Courier's outlet The Nevadan. We'll also have more hockey talk than has ever been heard on this show, thanks to a raucous 4 Nations Faceoff tournament final between the US and Canada.

We'll have the latest on the tragedy on the Potomac as the work continues to recover the bodies of the 67 people lost in a mid-air crash. It's an early challenge for new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, whose boss wasted no time in going full-blown racist in his efforts to inject politics and selfishness into a moment that demanded compassion and patience. But if you'll recall, we saw this coming when President Trump first announced Duffy's nomination. Then, Pat chats with Courier Newsroom correspondents Keya Vakil and Isabel Soisson about the disorganized chaos surrounding the OMB memo that went out this week that threw federal services around the country. Plus, there are some interesting trends among young people that Courier Newsroom. Plus, a little 1970 musical whiplash, the origins of Scotch tape, and the conclusion of Bridge Wars to make Milwaukee in 'Today's History Lesson'.

Get used to hearing the phrase “Papers, please,” a metaphor for life under a police state. The mayor of Newark, NJ said federal officers raided a fish market without a warrant and began mass detainment of people who couldn't prove their citizenship—something many of us don't carry on us. At least one US veteran was illegally arrested. How long until that happens to American citizens in Wisconsin?

Affectionately known as Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker put 70 of his 90 years into professional baseball—the last 54 as a broadcaster for his hometown Milwaukee Brewers.

We'll get an update from Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil on President-elect Trump's embattled nominee for Defense secretary—and how it's fair to see Pete Hogseth as a reflection of Trump himself, media characters who lack the moral character to lead the military or a nation.

We'll discuss the new Congress with Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil, focusing on whether it can be effective at implementing the right-wing Project 2025 agenda or if it will get bogged down in intraparty squabbling, courtroom setbacks, and an inability to figure out how to pay for everything they want without looking painfully obvious as big deficit diggers.

The short answer, of course, is no—as evidenced by rambling, fact-deficient, and often incoherent monologues that passed for a Donald Trump news conference. But as someone who would be the oldest-ever president if he wins in November, asking about Trump's mental acuity is a responsible long-term question.

What could we expect from a Harris administration? Courier Newsroom national political correspondent Keya Vakil reports from Los Angeles on how the vice president's policy agenda targets relief toward middle class workers and consumers—thinks like an expanded child tax credit that could've passed yesterday, but Republicans in the Senate voted it down despite a strong bipartisan vote in the House.

These days, it seems that Facebook, Instagram and other major social media platforms would much rather deal in cat videos than politics - perhaps political talk is too much trouble to moderate, or maybe too intellectually challenging to be much fun for much of their attention-addled audiences. In this second of two full panel discussions from this year's Unified Jam in Austin, Unified Head of Partnerships Brian Smith discusses the current collision between politics and social media with two power players in the digital political messaging space: Shaniqua McClendon is VP of Politics for Crooked Media, the producers of Pod Save America, Lovett Or Leave It and a whole array of great progressive podcasts and digital products, and Kyle Tharp is Managing Director of the political news platform Courier Newsroom and the author of the popular weekly "FWIW" newsletter.

Joan's guest today (in an abbreviated broadcast) is Carolyn Fiddler, political editorial director at Courier Newsroom.

As trust in national news continues to decline, studies demonstrate that most Americans consider local news to be the most trustworthy form of media. Recognizing the importance of a healthy press to our democratic process, An Honorable Profession is excited to bring you the first episode in a semi-regular series on the state of local media across our country, how to address challenges facing the industry, and what the future of news will look like. In this week's episode, host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan speaks with Tara McGowan, the founder of Courier Newsroom – a civic media company and the largest left-leaning network in the country with newsrooms in nine, soon-to-be eleven, battleground states. Tara is a journalist and former political strategist who spent years working with national democratic groups and in digital advertising and marketing. Her passion for local journalism and democracy led her to found Courier, which aims to protect and strengthen our democracy through credible, fact-based journalism. Tara and Debbie talk about Courier's work, the rapidly changing media landscape, the media's role in the rise of political extremism, and how to effectively combat dis- and misinformation. Tune in to learn how Courier elevates coverage of the issues most relevant to its audiences in communities nationwide, as well as Tara's predictions for the future of media and what that could mean for all of us.
